I'm Mel's mom from above. I got her Legos and all the toys girls don't get. She turned out awesome!

This is awesome! I'm so glad you found my blog, even more glad that you like reading it and the most glad that you forwarded this post to your Mom. Seriously, we need more spatial-skills girl toys so everyone could turn out a little more like Mel.
